ESPN has won the rights to broadcast 46 live Premier League matches in the United Kingdom for the 2009-10 season, and has also been awarded a contract for the 2010-13 seasons.
The sports broadcaster, parent company of Soccernet, picked up both 23-match packages on offer in Monday's auction. ESPN's 46 live games will be split between Saturday evenings and Monday nights in the coming season. For the three seasons from 2010-11 to 2012-13 ESPN has the rights to a single package of 23 matches previously awarded to Setanta.

Perhaps ESPN might consider grabbing the rights to the SPL next, as Setanta lost the broadcasting rights to those matches earlier Monday. (more on the link)

Or maybe they won't, as it's barely worth it for 4 half decent matches a season.
I'm interested to see if they will attempt to rip fans off in the same way Setanta did or if it will just be an extra quid or so on to the Sky subscription.
